David Crown

10 operas, 10 arias, 10 characters - a miscellany of great opera arias for bass-baritone.

Award-winning operatic soloist David Crown sings an exciting programme spanning the breadth of repertoire for bass-baritone. From the servant Figaro in Mozart's masterpiece, to the king (Filippo in Verdi's 'Don Carlo'), to the ass (Bottom in Britten's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'), the characters are as varied as the music itself.

Masterfully accompanied by James Longstaffe on piano (who will also provide interludes throughout the evening), the full programme is:

Come dal ciel (Banco) - Macbeth, by Verdi
Leave me loathsome light (Somnus) - Semele, by Handel
